While favoring the right to carry, I wish they’d leave them under their shirt or in their purse. It is unnerving to have a tattooed, pony tailed guy in his dirty undershirt with a side arm grousing about in my aisle, as this week. I respected his rights and changed aisles.
We all profile in public.

I agree. I will say that there is probably not a single person I know that is more pro gun and second amendment than me. There is absolutely no reason to walk into Target with your AR on your back. Even when I take my AR15 to the range it’s in a carry bag. These guys are just trying to get in the news and are making us all look bad. If you want to carry in public, and I think you should be allowed to, then put your Glock on your hip and pull your shirt over it.

Yes you can still bring it into target. The deterrent factor comes into play when someone does something stupid like trying to rob you in the parking lot and you pull your legally held concealed weapon on them.

Right. I’m expecting to get an AK by the end of the summer, but I don’t plan on advertising it everywhere I go, just because I can. I’m free to burn a flag, too, but that wouldn’t be good politics, either.

Shocked that Peach Pundit is not covering the myAJC story about health insurance premiums on the exchange either going down or rising by only single digits as well as the new insurers that plan to compete there next year.

I remind you once again that you forfeited your right to determine what’s on our front page when you refused to post except when it struck your fancy, refused to respond to emails about posting or contributing, and otherwise decided you couldn’t be bothered to participate in our community.

Now, again for whatever reason, you show up occasionally to bitch about what isn’t here, despite the fact that anyone that wants can add a link to the morning reads here in the comments.

Your whining is tiresome, and the criticism of “what Peach Pundit is not covering” lies squarely on your doorstep.

Excerpts:
Thousands of Georgians who bought coverage through the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplace could see only modest increases in monthly premiums next year, despite earlier predictions of massive price hikes.

Premiums proposed by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia reflect an average rate drop of 7 percent, the state filings show. Two other insurers that currently offer marketplace plans, Kaiser Permanente and Humana, expect single-digit increases in their average premium rates next year.

Or why stop with WRAS. GSU has a lot of valuable property currently being used as non-profitable classroom space. Could probably make some nice condos downtown. I smell a public-private partnership opportunity for the GBA.

In fairness, GSU needs more class and office space (especially the latter) and Urban Life Building is a dump (it is modeled after the Bastille!). Also, pretty sure there was a lot of fundraising to buy/retrofit SunTrust Plaza.

fair enough (wasn’t sure about fundraising) but it is still a big building in downtown atlanta, how cheap do you think it will be? Combine the need for more space and that law schools are cash cows. I just don’t see this as a waste, but YMMV.

Kell Hall is turning into a greenspace, the B-school and LS are already in SunTrust building. And at any rate, I don’t get why taxpayers wouldn’t want taxpayer-funded institutions to be as good as they can be.

Also, FWIW, that gun story doesn’t really prove any arguments for pro-2A folks.

For one, as the article notes, violence continues to decline in big cities–where the vast majority of gun-related violence takes place. Second, people keep guns in their houses. If you get in a fight in your house, you are given an opportunity to use it. And besides, domestic gun violence is kind of not what pro-2A folks really want to be drawing attention to.
